We are looking into buying some additional points. We now own at BW. We have no idea how to go about this and whether we buy from DVC or look elsewhere. Thanks for any help.
 
Did you buy your original points from a guide? If so, that would be where to start. If you bought resale and don't have a guide, why don't you check out the thread in which people are giving the name of their guides and their experiences, and call one that has been recommended.

Our guide is Michelle MacAlister 1-800-827-7201, she is very friendly and helpful.

The sponsor of this board sells resales, and there's a link to DVC resales at the top of the page, if you want to go the resale route, it would be a place to start. Give them a call.

We recently purchased 2 add on contracts for Boardwalk through resale. If you click onto the "DVC Resales" link above, you'll get a list of contracts available through The Timeshare Store. I think your best bet is resale, not just because of the price but because of availability. Boardwalk is sold out, and it seems as though DVC's focus is on selling Saratoga Springs, rather than re-acquiring contracts at other resorts.
 
We are in the process of adding on thru our original and most excellent DVC guide. For the money, I think adding on thru DVC directly (if they have or can get the points you want) is the simplest and easiest. My problem with resale was that after paying closing costs the per point cost was coming out about the same as direct purchase. Plus with direct pruchase, they line up your use year so that they all match, so no juggling problems with small amounts. The problem with buying an add-on direct is that they may not have the points that you want, and may not get them for some time (of course, for many resorts this is equally a problem thru resale).

BTW, our add-on is at BWV, and lines up nicely with our exisiting BWV contract. We were on the waitlist for a mere two weeks, which I understand is good fortune on our part.
